[QUOTE="Stgraves260, post: 820607, member: 19988"] Good evenin. I can can tell yout this. I shoot a 260 Rem. A 27" Krieger Barrel. Its like a medium heavy barrel. The same size of a Rem Sendero. It has a 1-8 twist. I shoot 130grn Berger VLD. The farthest Kill shot I have taken so far is 720 yrds. The target was a 290 lb hog. And yes, the bullet did have a complete pass through. How ever the bullet did not hit any bones. I thank the hog ran about 20 yrds or so. Easy blood trail to follow. When I gutted the hog the heart was hard to recognize. Some of the lungs were hit too. My 260 is not my 7mag Sendero. But it does the trick quite well i thank. At 720 yards the 260 still had ruffly 1000lbs of energy thanks to the high B.C. Berger bullet. My 260 still has around 700 lbs of energy at 1000yrds. That is at 1600 ft above sea level. The 140 grn VLDs would prob be better. But my 130s have never let me down. ( Dont fix whats not broken ) If I ever hesitate to pull my trigger on my 260 at an animal at long range. I stop!!!! Pick up my 7 mag and continue the hunt!!! A 260 Rem is a great 1000yrd whitetail cartridge. I wouldn't hesitate to pull the trigger. If you feel like the 260 is to small. My next choice would be a 7MM-08. 140grn Berger VLDs.
